• Yesterday’s winners:

In the early morning (3 AM CDT) Tuesday Tooth Fairy, hosted by @philippekiene, @futuremind was able to take it down. Congrats Future!

@Tadas destroyed me in heads-up play in my own tournament – HORSE with Hoodish. Congrats on the victory!

@celsius100 had one of the more impressive comebacks I’ve seen in a long time in the @followbtcnews 5 SBD Freeroll, going from the short stack with 5 players left to winning the tournament. You can never count him out!

We’ll have the results from the heads-up shootout in tomorrow’s update. Stay tuned!
